UFO: Malaysia or Malaya?

This is the usual error among Malayans calling Malaya as Malaysia.Even the fierce looking Immigration Director of Malaysia, indicatedthat Malaysia does not include Sabah and Sarawak in his statisticswhich nobody seem to comment on.The detected illegal immigrants does not appear to be from Indonesiaand Philippines which is the case for Sabah, but certainly not much inWest Malaysia, so the statistics is only for Malaya, not Malaysia.

And this author for this article, only refer to Malaysia in the 1950s.Malaysia does not exist in the 1950s. It was only Malaya, or FederatedMalay States.

As for the UFO, with so many cameras around, it is just inconceivablethat these aliens can hide themselves and yet they are able to do itstill showing its technology. All our Air Defence Systems appearuseless against them. So even if these UFOs exist, what can we doabout it? Nothing.One thing is certain. UFO had been very peaceful despite theirtechnology so we should be thankful.

Recently, the local media and the local and foreign internet communitywere abuzz with the news of an UFO (unidentified flying object)sighting at a serene beach resort near the city of Kota Kinabalu inSabah.

According to the press reports, the sightings of the round blue silentflying object in the sky were witnessed by many locals and tourists.Apparently some of the people who witnessed this UFO even claimed thattheir handphone 'went dead' mysteriously when they tried to record themoments of the UFO with their device.

Ufologists (researchers studying on UFOs) describe UFO as sightings ofan object or light seen in the sky or land whose appearance,trajectory, actions, motions, lights and colors do not have a logical,conventional or natural explanation.

Sightings of UFOs in Malaysia have been reported by the local media onand off over many years. The first recorded sighting of an UFOapparently took place in 1950s in Malaysia. Subsequently there havebeen many reports emerging in the press around the Asian region.However all these sightings remain just as another newspaper reportand I have not heard of the authorities making any attempt toinvestigate these sightings to validate the claims.

In the recent UFO sighting at the Tuaran Beach Resort in Sabah, thepolice according to press reports, did not undertake anyinvestigations over the incident which created somewhat of a stir inthe community. It was also reported in the press that police did notconduct any investigations on the UFO sighting as there were no policereports on the matter. Is a police report a necessity for aninvestigation of this nature?

In my opinion, we should not brush aside or scoff at UFO sightings ofthis nature. The authorities, especially those involved in thenational security sector, should conduct an investigation on suchcredible sightings immediately. We should not leave reports of UFOsightings of such nature for granted or unattended .

Whatever it is the authorities should undertake an investigation toascertain the validity of the report. A proper investigation should becarried out and situation should be explained to the public. Otherwisethis will only create opportunities for the naive public and the mediato speculate on the incident further.

The authorities have an obligation to explain to the public what wasthat the people witnessed hovering in the Sabah sky that day. We needto determine wether it was actually a UFO or IFO (Identified FlyingObject). If we don't have UFO expertise locally we can always seek theassistance of renown ufologist in USA and Europe

According to overseas reports, 90% to 95% UFO sighting investigationswere proven to be IFOs and not UFOs. Many a time it has beenattributed to a natural phenomenon (unusual environmental conditions)or man-made objects. In some instances during certain times of theyear due to atmospheric turbulence and unusual weather conditions, thestars near the horizon tend to twinkle rapidly in red and blue coloursdarting back and forth which people take as an UFO

Nevertheless, all UFO sightings should be investigated by the relevantauthorities to distinguish between UFOs and IFOs. It must be pointedout that of late there have been reports of UFO sighting incidentsaround the world that have somewhat got national security authoritiesworried.

Prior to our latest UFO sighting in Sabah another UFO was sighted atHangzhou, China on July 7. The sighting of this UFO practically forcedthe Chinese aviation security authorities to cease all airportoperations for an hour. If this is a natural phenomenon or man madeobject will the Chinese authorities cease all operations at theairport for an hour?

This latest UFO sighting in China created a stir among the Chinesemedia circles and apparently sparked a firestorm of speculations onthe UFOs identity.

Several UFO sighting reports in the past in the USA closer to nuclearmissile facilities apparently created a panic among USA securitychiefs when the missile panel electronics malfunctioned for noapparent reasons. Although the USA authorities have denied thisincident independent UFO expert (J.Allen Hynek) reports suggestotherwise.

It's time we review our perceptions of UFO sightings in the country.Evidence is emerging in bit and pieces that we are been watched bysome terrestrial beings. We need to scrutinize all UFOs sightings inview of the security implications. Perhaps we should encourage ourscientists, police and national aviation security personals tofamiliarise on the subject of UFOs.

We should train them to conduct a systematic critical analysis of allUFO sightings in the country instead of brushing it off. If need be,we should consider setting up a special investigation unit perhapsunder the national security council to investigate all UFO sightings.
